And here's a bit of a turn-up for the books:
SF: Grigor Dimitrov & Andreas Seppi (BUL/ITA)* vs (WC) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins
*Dimitrov & Seppi took out the top seeds (& fifth best doubles team in the world at the moment), Bops & Qureshi, by 5 & 3 in their QF, so Colin & Ross will have to be on their mettle tomorrow!
The semi is actually scheduled for later today, weather permitting, by which time Dimi will have played singles v Tipsy or Kuku as well.

Oops, yes! ashamed In my excitement, I'd forgotten that they'd have to play a second match today if they got through their QF! wink

First set down the pan by 5-7. The boys are going to need to do another of their Lazarus impressions...! Twice in one day?

Well it was a great chance to reach an ATP Final, and I'm sure they knew that, so I'm happy to stand by that one - I didn't say they would or were certain to get there or anything silly like that.
